What a gorgeous weekend!
spent today trimming bouganvillea and riding horses (ok...watching daughter ride...and jumping out of the way of a 1200 pound beast that thought it was funny to dive bomb the mom)
But it reminded me of a crisp colored day in...
Oh...lets say Greece. Isle of Rhodes.
Lindos. An ancient city established 3000 years ago.
Close your eyes...enjoy the tour.
well, open them for the actual tour...
A beautiful boutique hotel Melenos Lindos. It is nestled against the rocky flank of an ancient acropolis dating from the 10th century BC.
Window glass? Never! Who needs it when the temperature is near perfect 365 days a year.
The rocks on the outdoor rooms are hand placed and gorgeous in design!
following the Lindos tradition which incorporates Ottoman , arabic and Byzantine influence... Suzannis and hand painted wood ceilings adorn the rooms...
Oh...I really hope your eyes are open....Feast on this view, would you!
Color from trailing bougainvilleas, and fragrance from frangipani, lavender and jasmine enhance this sensuous setting...
Ok...back to your regularly scheduled program...
Ok...back to your regularly scheduled program...I'm just gonna hang out here for awhile...or a year.
Because.

That looks like a little piece of heaven. I loved the rock work! Oh my!!!!
Oh LINda! The DEtails! Beautiful. When do we leave?
Yes...Those rocks are so cool! I have seen similar in South America and Mexico. I need to do our front walkway and have been toying with something like that.
Ya think I could do it?? Maybe rock and saltillo...I dunno.

Thanks for the picture walk. With the cold, damp, weather here - it was a beautiful treat.

I have always found images from the greek isles so soothing. I love how you seem to calm me down with these images, just when i need them... mondays usually!
Couldn't think of a place I would rather be than Greece right now! Thanks for the tour! Tracey x

You made me dream!!!!
I am very tired, this is a hard time here in Argentina, everybody is tired, so much school activities, I will try to dream of that place this night.
Looks like there's plenty of room for me to be a stowaway. They wouldn't even notice me. :-)
Ahhh. Those views are just to die for. Thanks for taking us on a mini-vacation with this post, Linda!
Linda,
That gurney turned office table sounds fantastic! I'm currently working on a post on re-working items into new uses/rooms, and would love to feature that! If you have any photos, please send them via e-mail! Thanks for stopping by, as always!
